What is Robotic Process Automation and How it Helps Business Processes?

Let's define what is RPA and what good does it do to you and your business.

Robotic process automation (RPA) or sometimes referred to as software robotics is a type of Systems Automation. It is ideal for automating workflows that involve legacy systems that lack APIs, virtual desktop infrastructures (VDIs), or database access. It can easily be programmed and deployed to do basic, repetitive tasks across applications. RPA creates and deploys a software robot with the ability to launch and operate other software. It streamlines workflows and corporate processes by mimicking human tasks and automates them.

 

Just like humans, software robots can interpret what’s on a screen, navigate systems, identify and extract data, process a transaction, and perform a broad range of defined actions. It can do simple tasks from copy-pasting, generating an automatic response to an email to deploying thousands of bots, each programmed to automate jobs.

 

RPA bots can operate around the clock nonstop, faster, and more reliable. This automation technology saves time, and money and adds more value to Business. It enhances staff productivity by removing tedious tasks and enables competitive advantages by directing their focus to more critical work.
